US Senate investigates American Muslims for Palestine over alleged Hamas ties and campus links, raising concerns about student safety and extremist influence.
Despite being presented with plans to assassinate former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and military wing commander Mohammed Deif before they carried out the Oct. 7 attack, Netanyahu refrained from approving the operation. The PM has denied the claims
Even though Netanyahu is continuing to promise his voters a rapid victory over Hamas in Gaza, historically the arena that most interests him is Iran ■ The destruction in the West Bank Jenin refugee camp may be widespread, but it's still nothing like what happened in Gaza

Yemen's Houthis claimed responsibility for the overnight launch, saying they targeted Israel's airport. According to Israeli emergency services, 13 people were injured while rushing to take shelter during the sirens; Hamas took responsibility for rockets fired into central Israel several hours ago
